Something has gone amiss in upgrading to the new version of stdenv on a SLES
10.0 box.

In building libelf, I get a crash:

nix/h3mnwa34rk4znh8wdfg6y4q6famlzj38-glibc-2.13/bin/gencat de.cat de.msg
make[1]: *** [de.cat] Segmentation fault

The binary in question is pulling in the system libraries:

$ ldd nix/h3mnwa34rk4znh8wdfg6y4q6famlzj38-glibc-2.13/bin/gencat
        linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00002aaaaaacb000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaaaccd000)
        nix/h3mnwa34rk4znh8wdfg6y4q6famlzj38-glibc-2.13/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaaab000)

Any ideas?
